Introduction:
The COVID-19 has had a negative psychological impact in a large part of the world population, including pregnant adolescents as vulnerable group.
Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness of the hypnotherapeutic pattern applied to pregnant adolescents.
Methods:

The study group was its own control group.
Results:
Of the 15 patients, 5 corresponded to the 10-14 age group and the rest of the patients, to the 15-19 age group. As for the results of the self-evaluation scale, before the treatment 11 pregnant women had high levels of anxiety, for a 73.3 %, and after receiving the hipnosis, these levels lowered in 13 of them, for a 86.7 %.
